Hello again /lit/, just finished Voltaire's Candide today. I was wondering what your guys thoughts were on this.

I think Martin is Voltaire's manifestation of his own philosophical beliefs and the book acts as a satire of the typical "everything happens for a reason" bullshit that Pangloss was trying to convince everyone of, amirite?

So /lit/ I just finished Conrad's Heart of Darkness today and was wondering what your thoughts are on it

Personally, I think I may have missed the point, because I'm having a rather difficult time figuring out why this is a classic, anyone care to help me out?

Hey /lit/ I just finished Slaughterhouse 5 today, and I'm really having a hard time figuring out why this is a classic. I don't even clearly understand Vonnegut's message, is it anti-war or does he use to Tralfamadores to mock the way humans perceive time? What do you guys think?
